Does anyone else every get this blue box around an app icon on their home screen? And does anyone know why it happens? It happens randomly when I use the back key to close an app and go to the home screen. The box goes away as soon as i touch the screen. 9ce577e4-e0d7-43e9-8004-4d132e0d839a.jpg

I know that there's an accessibility option I believe that highlights your clicks

I checked all my accessibility options and they are all turned off.

Hey @DaveS14, as fellow member @Jonathan34 has already stated, that is definitely related to an accessibility option. Since you've already ensure that all options are disabled, the blue box should no longer be appearing. Please give your device a restart to see if that will help resolve the issue. Thanks!

The blue box still shows up randomly even after I restarted my phone. And if I press the home button it moves to the bottom right corner. Could it be an app on my phone that causes this because its happened on my old phone as well before?
